Took Him in tho Back Yard.

He had stopped at a cosy-looking
cottage and rung the door bell, and
asked the servant who answered for
something to eat. She stated that she
would summon her mistress. The
latter soon appeared and found the
tramp grazing on the narrow border of
grass which lined the flower beds Of
the front yard.
"Why, what are you doingp" she
asked.
"I'm hungry, mum, for I amt had
nothln' to eat for three days."

sympathetic little wife to the servant,
as each wiped tear from her eyes,
and continuing, said:
Jane take the poor fellow in the
back yard-the grass is so much taller
there"

hound to m airy Him.

PITTsbURG, May ! This city has a
nearly parallel case to that of Nina Van
Zandt. w. T. Lavelle was convicted
yesterday Of robbing Pan Handle freight
cars. During his trial pretty girl named
Vannie Hill, his affianced, has sat by his
side in court. This morning she applied
for license to marry him. The Registrar
refused the license because Lavellc was
In Jail and could not be present when the
license was granted.
Miss Hill will now try to secure a new
trial for her lover 80 that he can be RI :
leased from jail on bail and thus be en-
abled to get marriage license. Failing
In this she will patiently await the expira-
ton of his term of imprisonment, which,
it Is thought, cannot exceed three years,
and marry him then. She Is thor
oughly determined to marry him sooner
or later

A small boy with his boot box in
hand stood looking attentively up
Griswold street recently, when he was
asked:
"What are you looking after,

"That millionaire in the kerridge."
whats the matter with hlmP"
"He got out here and asked me to
hold his boss. When he went away
he didn't hand me no ten cents"
"Pcrhaps he forgot it."
"That's what I'm puzzling over
whether he is absent minded and will
send me check through the mail in
day or two, or whether he took me for
another millionaire and didn't want to
hurt my feelings by offering me any
money? It's pretty hard to under
stand these high-up fellows, and the
next one ! get on to has to pay ca sh

One OF Edison's Praotiosl Jokes.

The report that the cottage and
Laboratory built in Maine for Edison
and sent TO Florida by sailing vessel.
had been lost at sea, Is q mistake. 1t
originated in the natural exhuberance
OF spirits that overlook the inventor
on the eve OF his marriage. In order
to scare his partner, Gilliland, he
telegraphed him one night, when the
vessel was about 10 days out:
"Our things have all gone down;
schooner stove up this side of Hatteras;
captain and crew safe."
1t had its effect, and Gilliland at
once gave 1t to the nearest reporter,
and it was printed broadcast. Edison
called them to account next day for
publishing such cock and bull story.
"Why, you told me yourself" ex-
claimed Gilliland, producing the dis
patch.
"Nonsense! 1t doesn't say any such
thing" answered Edison. Things
gone DOWN. of course they've gone
down; you sent 'em down YOURSELF
Captain and crew safe!' Certainly;
at least, suppose they are."
"see here" put in Gilliland, some.
what chagrined, chow about the
schooner being stove up2"
II didn't say the schooner was stove
up; never thought OF such a thing;
only said the schooner stove was up.
Without 1t 1t would have been very
cold this side of Hatteras.
Gilliland vowed to get even with
him. Meantime the buildings arr lived
promptly in Florida and have been
erected at Fort Meyer, on the gulf
coast, where tarantulas are alrea dy fit
to pick and crocodiles bloom. or at
any rate, bloom the year round.

James Jackson, the famous State de-
tective, resides in Sing Sing, and is
generally In attendance at the prison.
His duties are to examine carefully the
face OF every convict as he enters, and
to scrutinize every visitor in order to
prevent any discharged convict from
seeing his pals. Occasionally he has to
make long journeys in pursuit of rum
away prisoners or to identify criminals
convicted in other States. He never
makes mistake; if once he
looks man in the eye he will
know him under airy disguise, as he
tells his man by the look OF his eyes.
Once an escaped convict had his nose
pared down one-third, but Jackson de-
tected him at once, Notwithstanding
this remarkable change of feature. Mr..
Jackson is about feet inches in
height, about 35 years old, of q light
and sinewy build, with black hair and
piercing black ewes, and is altogether
remarkably handsome. He knows about
10000 criminals. and it is simply
wonderful that he can distinguish
the features of every one. On his
long journeys he eats very moderately,
and always takes one Brandreth pill at
night. When much fatigued by the
jolting of the cars on his tiresome trips
he uses two Allcock's Porous Plasters
on the small of the back, which give
him renewed vigor, and quickly relieve
him of all WEAKNESS. These are the
only two remedies he uses, and he at
tributes his vigor and remarkable
health to Allcock's Porous Plasters
and Brandreth's Pills.-Sing Sing

WASHINGTON.

President Cleveland has mitigated
the sentence of dismissal against Major F. W.
Benteen, of the Ninth Cavalry, to suspension
for one year at half pay, on account Of long
and faithful service.
A Washington special says: There
are some indications that a proclamation Of
non-intercourse with Canada, on the basis Of
the Edmunds bill, is regarded as possible
While Lord Salisbury's latest proposition to
extend the provisions Of tho Washington
treaty without the indemnity clause is con-
sidered almost an impudont proposition (be-
cause of its carrying with it the fishery clause,
which was not included in Secretary Bayard's
temporary arrangement it is denounced in
Toronto as an unworthy surrender of Cana
dian interests The conclusion is therefore
believed TO be inevitable that non-intercourse
will first have to be proclaimed. 10 be follow
ed, as is anticipated, by Joint commission to
adjust the matters in dispute. which was the
course originally recommended"
Gen. Terry, in addition to other
duties, has been assigned to the temporary
command OF the Department Of the Missouri.
